Degree and Certificate Programs

COURSE, DEPARTMENT & PROGRAM CHANGES!!

You have probably noticed the course name/number changes in all MC classes. ALL MC programs have now changed to 4 letter subject codes. Don't worry if you took a class when it had an older code or different number, it still counts towards your degree! (But if you took it more than 4 years ago, check with an advisor).

CS 261 is now CMSC 234, and we have additional new mobile programming classes (CMSC 237, CMSC 240)

Other numbers may have also changed, so read the course descriptions for notes on old names and numbers.

Yes, it is confusing! But we can help you figure it out. The college is in the middle of transitioning to the new names/numbers, so the information may not be fully updated across the MC catalog and website yet. Bear with us!

There are also changes afoot for many of our departments. MC has undergone a full academic reorganization to improve our programs. Starting in July,

Web and Gaming (CMAP) programs have moved to the Media Arts & Technologies department (ground floor of the TC building). In Fall 2015, our subject code will be TECH.

Computer Science (CMSC) moved to the Engineering department.

Microsoft Office (CMAP) moved to the Business department.

If you have questions, please email an adviser. Gaming students can contact Prof. Solomon. Web students can contact Prof. Lizmi and Prof. Hubley. Animation and Graphic Design students can contact Prof. Hubley. Programming students can contact Prof. Webb.
